ing for oil, coal, iron, lead, copper, silver,
gold and soda, SO that | feel competent to
talk on our s]ub-surface~ resources. About
three years ago Seminole, a half breed
Indian, while out hunting discovered the
flowing oil spring. 1t is simply a tract
about 20xl50 feet in area, through which
oil and water continually bubble up.
There are now about two barrels daily
dipped up from it. That oil is worth
forty cents a gallon on the grounds. The
warmer the weather the faster the oil
flows. 1t is used for lubricating reapers,
mowers and other machinery, as well as a
medicine for rheumatism, diptherla and
other maladies, but for want of transpor-
tation it has never been marketed. The
oil basin is situated seventy miles west of
the Elkhorn terminus of the Fremont &
Missouri Valley railroad, better known as
the Northwestern, which in a short
time will be completed to within ten miles
of the oil fields. Forty miles north of
these is located Salt creek oil basin, in
johnson county, and in the same oil
strata with the others. The natural
springs there flow two barrels daily.
Eighteen miles west of this point, on
Powder river, four natural oil springs
have been found which, together, have a
daily flow of five barrels. Ga the Sweet.
water river, near Independence rock, are
vast soda beds. They run from two
inches to forty feet in thickness. 1t is
found there in both the liquid and hard
state. 1t is IS per cent carbonate of
soda. There are also soda beds on the
Platte river. The finest glass can be
made Of this soda. Soap can also be
manufactured from it. Kirk, the Chi
cago soap man, is figuring on it to use in
the soap line. Within fifteen miles
south OF this soda bed are the great Iron
mountains. Iron men say that the iron
there secured is as good as any from
Pennsylvania mines. Five miles west
are found gold and copper mines, now
being worked, and f5e miles further
west lead and silver mines are being

PITH IN
THE CLOSING CHAPTER.

The strong right arm Of the law was
stretched forth relentlessly in Chicago
yesterday, and anarchy in America igno
m~iniously strangled to death. 1t died
the moment the four chief e%xpounders of
the damnable creed expired on the scat
fold, and license is again hurled from its
pedestal to make way for genuine liberty.
This nation Of ours has passed through
too many momentous crises to hesitate at
throttling hydra headed anarchy. era.
died amidst the rugged scenes of a new
/, civilization, it raised itself through well
nigh insurmountable obstacles to indie
pendence. 1t passed successfully through
a formative period that was studded with
difficulties, and without the aid of past
experience in the worlds history to guide
it. 1t threw aside the cumbersome swad
ding clothes of federation to assume the
beautiful but untried garb Of the consti-
tuition. IL struggled through grinding
poverty to a~ffiuence, and came unscathed
through the ~fiercest internecine struggle
known to all the ages. Multitudes OF
men from every cline in the universe
have met here on a common ground and
become assimilated into a homogeneous
nation in u period unparalleled as to time
in the worlds history.
Oflate years there have come amongst
us u class of men who have failed to grasp
the genius of our institutions. Suffering
perhaps from the cruel wrongs of tyranny
at home, they were prepared to look with
iaundiced eye upon all forms of modern
government. Some of them may have
been actuated by honest motives, but the
majority of them were reckless dema-
gogues who looked upon social revolution
as the readiest method of forcing them
selves into conspicuous notoriety.
Unfortunately there are malcontents
under every form of government. Like
moths about a candle, they were drawn
around these leaders, and the seeds OF
dissension so a%rlfully sown began quickly
to bear fruit. The cloak of secresy was
soon cast aside, the most rabid doctrines
were freely ventilated through their
newspapers, and the leaders became
powerful figures in corrupt local politics.
Murder and arson were freely and pub
licly advocated as a radical cure for pre-
vailIng social diseases.
The authorities were apparently inert
and things went from bad to worse. but
the moment that dynamite became the
active agent of the soclalistic propaganda
marked the first step in the downfall of
this dreadful institution. A social insur-
rection was strangled at its inception.
While every citizen may congratulate
himself on the satisfactory outcome OF
the notable event in Chicago yesterday, it
should not, as a sign of the times, escape
thoughtful consideration. Our social
fabric is not even yet a perfect structure,
and by wise legislation it may be strength,
ened in some places and modified in 9th
ers to the lasting benefit of the rank and
file OF the people.

HOODOISM.
A Horse Doomed BY Assisting In Drag.
cling a Carcass.

DE teams done hooded. One of
dem horses will die inside OBJ a month, "
shouted John Stokes, the Alert janitor,
in agitated tones Thursday afternoon.
The spectacle which caused the colored
gentleman to give vent to his feelings in
a loud voice was the removal of a dead
horse from Abney's stable to the dump
grounds. The carcass was attached to the
rear of one of the large platform wagons
of the Cheyenne Transfer company. When
Stokes had recovered from the excitement
occasioned by observing the hodoolng of
an unsuspecting and defenseless party, a
reporter elected an explanation of the
superstition. Stokes said that in the his
tory of his family in this country he and
his forefathers had noticed-and it was a
matter of record-that if a team of
horses assisted in the funeral services of a
deceased equine; one of the animals
would expire within thirty days. The
Alert %janitor promises to watch the
doomed team and let the people know
that there is something in his pet super
stition.
